How long until a plantar plate sprain is completely healed?

I just got off the phone with a runner who had a plantar plate sprain. He was out on a run, he got a plantar plate sprain.

I saw him, I helped him understand what to do and what I showed him to do was exactly the same stuff I show you in the plantar plate sprain course.

He was doing much better, but he had a great question.

His question was, "When is my plantar plate sprain really healed enough that I don't have to worry about it anymore?"

Well, that's a great question and that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On the Run podcast.
